Only a few days before the movie release of the anticipated Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Are you going to watch it? With the holidays coming at the door, we shall have some spare time for "the Force". Following the massive success from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, I can't wait to see what's in store for the second film in this sequel trilogy. As a little tradition on ABDZ, we love seeing and putting together a collection of what artists and designers come up to realization. Please enjoy this wonderful tribute to Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Star Wars inspires designers everywhere to come up with fantastic artworks. We've seen many great pieces like posters, statues, CG artworks and more, but I really love seeing gifs inspired by this universe.

Today I am changing a bit of the focus of the posts to focus strictly on the much anticipated launch of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Opening in theaters here in the US tomorrow, I felt compelled to celebrate the latest chapter in Star Wars history. In lieu of posting regular fan art I had to post about the work that Marko Manev posted which merges another of my passions, Noir style. The artworks are quite inspiring, simple, elegant and of course noir.
Marko Manev, born 1985 in Skopje, Macedonia is a conceptual mixed-media artist, graphic designer & illustrator. He graduated in fine arts and has worked as a graphic designer in advertising. Manev has initiated and has taken part in several NGOs and cultural organizations where he worked as a lecturer and an executive director. Also, he has written and illustrated several short story comic books.
Manev is an active artist both in the fine art and in the pop-culure tribute art scene. Currently he is working as a freelance designer and illustrator, creates limited edition prints and movie posters

We're seeing much more female characters under the spotlight these days, and hopefully we're gonna see even more in the future! Among the Jedi, there are very few rocking the Force and displaying some sweet fencing skills with their lightsabers, so it's always great to see artists coming up with these characters.
Here you can see some strong female characters with their lightsabers... this pumps me up for the new Star Wars and hopefully we'll find out Rey is the actual Jedi in this story. The man behind these awesome illustrations is Polish artist Wojtek Fus. For more of his amazing work, please visit his portfolio at ArtStation! I hope you enjoy these! Cheers! ;)

This will be really outdated someday, but I'm really pumped for next December, when Star Wars Episode VII will hit the silver screen. I bet every geek out there is pretty excited about this, and whenever I get to see the Millennium Falcon flying, I tend to smile. Kurt Miller, an American artist, comes up with astonishing illustrations showing air and space battles between Tie Fighters and X-Wings.
These are so good I wanna cry. These are so good I wanna fly a X-Wing. Ok, ok... I gotta lower my expectations, otherwise this film will flop. I can't afford that. Anyways, these are a few of the amazing pieces Kurt has done. For more of it, please visit his portfolio at ArtStation. I hope you enjoy these! Cheers. ;)
X-Wing Full Throttle
X-Wing Along the River
Kurt graduated from Maryland Institute College of Art with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Visual Communication and with an Award of Merit for Outstanding Achievement in Illustration.

His ability to conceptualize for these clients is highly regarded and allows them to focus on the written message while he explores the visual content.

Last week we had some really exciting news in terms of movie trailers, first the new Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens and a couple of days later the new and super anticipated Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. I am looking forward to both movies, in special the new Batman, however Star Wars is looking fantastic and to get us even more excited I would like to share the work of Riyahd Cassiem titled Darth Vader.
Riyahd Cassiem is freelance artist, specializing in 2D and 3D visual development for the entertainment industry. For more information check out http://riyahdart.blogspot.com/

Star Wars fans everywhere are just going nuts over the first trailer for Star Wars Episode VII - The Force Awakens. We got to see some fantastic scenes from a Galaxy far, far away, like the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy, the Millennium Falcon, doing some crazy stunts.
This trailer has got some artists excited and now we have some super awesome fan art for you guys to see! As time passes, we're definitely gonna see more of these fantastic pieces. Also, if you've seen any more great fan art, let us know! I hope you enjoy these. Cheers! ;)

It's always a great day when you find a real slick set of works like these by artist David Barton, aka Limpfish. These are his take on famous fine art pieces, mixing it up with pop culture elements, like Star Wars and The Simpsons.
These are definitely a must have. Yes... you can have these. You may buy them at his shop at Imagekind. Unfortunately for me the worldwide shipping costs more than the print itself, so no "Seurat's Monday Morning in Chicago" for me. But you may buy his prints and visit his portfolio for more information! Show him some love so that he feels the urge to make more, because we NEED more of these!! I hope you like it. Cheers. ;)

Some artists get really famous for some concepts they come up with. Actually, a person might not even actually come up with a concept, but if a certain artwork of that artist gets attention, usually people will say that any other artwork from other artists that come after that is a mere copy.
Although it is important to acknowledge original artists, it's a fact that their pieces become inspiration to others. Inspiration is out there, and IMO it's impossible to say that styles are property of people. I say that because many might state that the work of Michael Rogers is a copy of previous artists, like Olly Moss. Michael's pieces are yet another example of a great geeky artist making gorgeous illustrations, and that's what counts. You may even buy some of his prints, which is great! His 'The Walking Dead" pieces are astonishing! Check out his store at Etsy for more! What do you think about many artists following the some concepts and styles? Cheers. ;)

Since the entire Star Wars franchise was sold to Disney, we've seen many news about the upcoming Episode VII movie. The original actors are most likely to be back and I think now it's a good time to get in the mood for more of this amazing universe.
What would you like to see in the theaters? Expanded Universe stories or original script? I would love to see something from the expanded universe for sure! Now, these illustrations were done by really talented artists. For more of their art, please visit their portfolio simply by clicking each image. Enjoy! Cheers. ;)

Star Wars are one of the few subjects that I'm probably never getting tired of. I'm definitely not the biggest fan out there, but I really enjoy the whole culture around it and love how much illustrators are inspired by it. So much art to see.
These are the work of Terese Nielsen, an amazing American artist that's been painting for many years now. It's great to see how much Star Wars have been an inspiration for artists everywhere for such a long time. For more of Terese's works, you may visit her personal portfolio, which is definitely worth the visit. I hope you enjoy these! Cheers. ;)

I've been to very few exhibitions in my life, but there's some that would be worth traveling abroad just to visit, like the Star Wars Identitites Exhibition, which will open in April, in Canada. Sometimes I feel all good events happen in Canada. I'm jealous.
The exhibition will debut in April 19th in Montreal and October 27th in Edmonton. Here you can check some of the mind-blowing images that will be displayed there. Some pretty awesome, creative pieces, indeed. For more of it, you must buy tickets at the official site and travel to Canada, but I'm pretty sure it's worth the price of it. I hope you enjoy these! Cheers. ;)

I find it really sad when I get to know about a great artist only when he or she dies. Unfortunately that happened again in March 3rd when Star Wars concept artist, Ralph McQuarrie, passed away.
Born in America in 1929, Ralph was the hand behind the concept art that helped bring life to some of the most famous characters of all times, like Darth Vader and Yoda. Of course that seeing these you'll get to see that the final product, the one we watched on screen, was slightly different from Ralph's concepts, which are great nonetheless. This is a quite long post, by since we're talking about a trilogy, you should understand my motives. He's done many great pieces, and these are only a "few" of them. Don't forget to check Ralph's official site. I hope you enjoy these. Cheers! ;)

One of the biggest influences around Abduzeedo's look is the good old shiny neon. We love it, and it's great to see illustrations with it, like these, made by Digimental Studio. Pretty sweet, I'd say.
Digimental Studio is located in London, and they definitely love their neon. These are absolutely awesome, and I really dig the animated ones. Anyways, for more of Digimental's works, you may check their portfolio at Behance. I hope you enjoy these! Cheers. ;)
